The reverse Triangle & the X-Shield - An unexpected Submission & an active Guard Control

The Reverse Triangle is a very underrated but powerful Triangle Choke Variation that can be
applied in many unusual ways.

In this video series, BJJ 3rd degree Blackbelt Björn Friedrich is showing you
not just the application of the Reverse Triangle Choke, but a complete system of control that can be
used to prevent your opponent from passing your Guard and to set up many different submissions.

The X-Shield will help you to develop a strong Guard defense and allows you to stay mobile and
create distance from your opponent if needed. If you are looking to make your No-Gi Guard
stronger and hard to pass and if you are looking for a systematic approach of using the Reverse
Triangle Choke, this series is for you.
